I experienced this on many cases. The one I have right now, the Pocket Solutions vertical holster, does this too. Worst thing about it that the magnets actually draw power from the phone.

I used acbPower to gauge the battery usage for 5 minutes in suspend mode while outside the case and inside the case. Even if the magnets does not trigger the keyboard, they still drain the battery more.

So I sliced open the holster from the inside and removed the magnets. It's not that easy because they are glued. Then I used industrial velcro to keep the flap closed. Now my battery drain inside the holster is the same as when outside =)
