Okay, this is exactly what I do when I do not get battery drain.

Yes I would too.

Yes, okay.

But, are you saying that if you slide the slider briefly and patiently wait until the device is really of, and only then close the case (that perhaps touches the screen), you still get battery drain? Is perhaps your screen dirty? As in, something on there that interrupts the IR beams, causing the same screen touching battery drain problem?

Or is the only difference that you have your power off settings enabled...??
