I've tried a few variations of these LCD tablets but this is a new design for me. I like it. Basically it's like everyone else. Write on the LCS with a pen or something else that creates pressure and doesn't scratch. Press the button to delete. This differs in that it has a delete button on the back. I found I'm less likely to accidentally hit it, and there's a lock switch. It also frees up the front of the screen, so the entire writing area can be used with a very small frame. The back is smooth and flat, but it also has a long and wide fridge magnet, so it can be attached to some fridges, doors, etc. In the box was a pen with a magnet and one without. I also like the more minimalist frame. style a lot.
