My epic keyboard lasted 2 1/2 months

[revaaron]

I keep my epic in a pocket with nothing else. At a concert, I closed it in my pocket and then watched a band. after, I went to get it out of my pocket and when I closed it, it didn't close all the way. The period key ripped, flipped up, and blocks the keyboard from sliding all the way in.

So tomorrow, I'm going to get my keyboard replaced or get a new phone. What do people suggest? do I unroot my phone? how do I back things up? all my contacts are in fb, google, exchange, but the linking of accounts, where is that stored? I want to go first thing in the am since the store is over an hour drive.
