The 5568 & 5568a operate the exact same way with the same exact features. The only differences are the colors and the designs are slightly different.

@@InnovaAuto Ok, thank you for the reply. But how come I can't find the "a" anywhere to buy now? Is it also an older model?

ouch

Let me correct that statement, a waste. I forgot that I made it ! At the time I was looking for a how to, on how you operate it. This video is just a commercial, so I shouldn't have stated that. Maybe there is a good one, I couldn't find one, just bits and pieces, so I was about to quit. I finally found enough info, after piecing some more poor video info. together, and I liked it enough to buy one. I hope to be trying it out tomorrow ! The info. sent with it isn't so hot and if the user doesn't see the arrow, there will be problems. But as far as quality, so far it looks impressive and the case isn't a piece of junk either. You definitely need one in a case, makes it easy to find, it adds protection, and I like how you can store your written notes. Looks like I definitely made a good choice here. A good tool to have for a variety of reasons ! Glad I was persistent. @@InnovaAuto
