Touch Diamond Stylus Magnet

Has this happened to anyone?
The other day I was putting the stylus back in my touch diamond & it was really a tight fit, so I took it back out to see what was the problem. I saw a little black strip that I thought was a piece of paper, so I shook the diamond until I got it out. It wasn't paper, it was the magnetic strip that keeps the stylus in. My sprint store is closed for the holiday so i will take it in tomorrow to see if they can put it back in.

What was done about it? Was the tech at the sprint store able to repair it or did they have to send it away?

well, it took 4 months but it finally happened to me. i was able to put the magnet back in its place and it worked fine for about a week. now every day it comes loose. i took it to the sprint store this evening and they said they could not fix it and would order me a new phone. i have the equipment protection plan so there is not going to be a charge. which i would think there should not be even if you did not have the protection plan. this is definately a design flaw. simple adhesive is the only thing keeping the magnet in place. actually it looks to be a really simple fix if there was some way to disassemble the phone and be able to have access into the housing where the magent sits. if it is possible to have access then a little superglue should do the trick. anyone conquered this problem on their own yet?
