See these pictures. The tops are of hard plastic, so agree with your description.

Lost Sheep, thank you for the pictures! One thing I like is that because of the frame this has, I always have girth.

I am not sure what you mean by"frame". My implant loses girth in tid mid- length portion (most of the penile shaft) when deflated and gains about an inch (25mm) in girth when inflated. Significant difference. Yours does not?

for me, the "skeleton" is also something I can feel when I am fully deflated. I suspect this might be more obvious with titan coloplast. For me, the "skeleton like" things are the wrinkles of the coloplast cylinder tubing. Some guys like to be partially inflated so that there are no wrinkles or crinkles. I am fine with the wrinkles since I was told by my surgeon that it is important to have the implant fully deflated so that your natural erectile tissues can remain full and with blood flow.

Although I am big believer in the big girth and great hardness of the titan, I recognize that these wrinkles/crinkles are the price one pays for having that implant.

All this being said, the "skeleton like" feeling is just not a problem for me, though I suspect that a woman feeling the implant fully deflated might wonder "hmmm, that feels a little different than usual" --- which is why titan guys are sure that they are at least partially inflated when engaging in foreplay.

Lost Sheep, yes, mine functions just like yours. Same significant difference.
