Im experiencing the same issue. After it turns off it gets put into " recovery mode" then im required to restore it every time.. Pretty annoying!
Go to Apple!
Funny thing is this my 2nd iphone 4s, first one had a speaker defect, (it was making a low buzzing noise) and now this..

Unfortunate luck of the draw, happens to everyone sometimes. It sucks, but...
Hope your next one has no flaws.
i know its an unfortunate luck, oh well.. hopefully next time i get tomorrow is all good. thank you!
Go to Settings>General>Usage>Diagnostics & Usage>Diagnostics & Usage Data. If anything on that page has "panic" anywhere on the entry, your iPhone is experiencing kernel panics due to a hardware issue. The only fix for this is a replacement. No software update or restore will fix it.

Thank you. I confirm that there were many kernel panics under diagnostics log. I went to the Apple Store today and was given a replacement. So far, the replacement has not shut off by itself.
Finally found someone else with the same problem! I pre-ordered 4S and got it the day it came out and I have had problems ever since! Mine shuts down multiple times a day, I am convinced there would be uber-pissed iPhone 4s users if this happened to everyone, so I definitely need to go to Apple.
Since I couldn't find anyone else with this many comlpaints, I thought it was normal to have this many bugs in the first version of software...etc. Hopefully I don't have to live with this anymore....it's been so annoying!!!!
Also---many apps don't work and my camera doesn't take pics anymore.
Definitely check your diagnostics for kernel panics.
Also, this is not the first version of the software. It is the eighth.
Finally someone listened
My new iPhone 4s turned itself off one hour after I purchased it about a week ago, and since then it has turned itself off about twice daily (even when the battery was charged)!!!!!
Make sure to check your diagnostics page as well.
