Pulling your finger back from heat is a reflex action, which is useful to prevent injury. For instance, if I were to touch boiling water for a long time, my finger would be burned, while because this is a reflex action, my finger may be prevented from further harm.

How To Take back off pantech burst?

If you look at the back of your phone you'll see a little crevice near the bottom. Put your finger nails into it and pull up. You should hear a cracking noise, carefully keep pulling up, it looks and feel like you're breaking your phone but if you pull slowly and maybe put your fingers under the back while pulling you should be fine! (it took me a good 10 minutes and a lot of google-ing to figure this out)
