So the rubber back to my wife's Pixi is gradually falling off. It started with a little piece of the charging port door, then started working its way around the entire phone. She refuses to use an additional case..
So can we just buy and install a new back, or is this something that has to be done at Sprint? I see a back that is compatible with the Touchstone on sale, but 1. $20 seems like alot for just the back, and 2. Is it easy to replace?

Yes, you can buy and install a new back, it super easy and no need to go to Sprint. $20 isn't that bad for a case especialllt for the touchstone. If you do a little bit of searching, you can probably find it a little cheaper.

that was happening to my phone as well. i just went to a sprint store and they had an extra backing in the back of the store and just replaced it for free, so i'd say it's worth a shot!

Radioshack is selling black touchstone backs for like 8.99 i think. You ought to buy one, i highly recommend them. The charging port opens so much easier, the back as a whole is much higher quality, it keeps you open for the option of the touchstone in the future and i like how it lets the ringer switch stick out just enough to be able to feel it in the dark and switch it on and off, but not enough to catch on things. It just feels so much different than the stock back. I got mine for 25$ at verizon, it was orange, my girlfriend got a pink one & the touchstone.
