Okay, this isn't very scientific, but I have a few data points that look interesting:

Code:
24 Mar 2013 11:56	84%	sleep, wait, put Glo in sleeve
25 Mar 2013 10:09	84%	on                             	22h 13m

-----

26 Mar 2013 23:07	81%	on, sleep, quickly paper on screen
27 Mar 2013 11:18	64%	on                             	12h 11m
Seems like Tech's idea is close to what's going on. If I sleep the Glo (using the slider), and wait until it's fully asleep, and THEN put it in its case (assuming here that the case always touches the screen/interrupts the IR beams): nothing drains the battery. But, if I put the Glo to sleep (using the slider) and while it's going to sleep quickly put a paper towel on the screen: big fat drain. So, interrupting the IR beams while the Glo is going to sleep is disastrous for the battery.
