If "heavy user" is someone who removed a stylus about 15 times in 4 days then yes, I am one of those.

Re: Why when I remove my stylus doesnt my Pro come on anymore?

Same happened to me today. Had my phone since 10/25. Went to pull the stylus and it felt tight. Looked inside and noticed the switch was flapping around in there. Guess I'll be on the phone with Sprint tomorrow, after seeing this thread.

Looks like stylus power trigger is not magnetic

It looks like the stylus power trigger is not run by magnets, but instead there is a little black switch that if you tap with the stylus it turns on.

While it does use magnets to keep the stylus in, the two systems are seperate from eachother. Probably a cover up for the use of a velcro case.

It isnt a problem or anything for me, I just though that I would point it out.
