Conversely, sleeping the Glo manually, without blocking the IR, and allowing it time to shut down before placing it in the same magnetic sleep cover should eliminate the heavier drainage, if the IR remaining blocked is the trigger for the drainage. (I think it keeps the IR LEDs on?)

Hmm. Actually,
I've been discussing
- A Glo
- Manual sleep mode with slider (no sleep cover)
- IR beams interrupted when putting Glo into sleeve before it fully sleeps
- Gives lots of ridiculous battery drain
- Is solved by waiting after sleeping Glo manually before putting Glo into sleeve...
But yes, I still think your hunch/educated guess is what's happening.

Nice!

Nice again! So, it seems, both the Mini (using the Glo firmware, right?) and the old Touch models do not experience the same battery drain or the same IR interruption...

Well I'm not sure about that. I remember getting the 2.4.0 update and hoping it would solve my battery problem. I was on... eehh.. 2.3.2 ? I think, before that, with the same battery drain. I can't remember if I ever tested with 2.1.5. Or wait, does that one even exist for the Glo?
