There was a ton of discussion, I made a bunch of posts detailing actual battery life with low lighting and sleep mode only over several weeks to provide a baseline for normal battery life. The only thing that seemed to make sense was that if the Glo was set to respond to a sleep cover and a part of the cover like a loose edged pocket interrupted the IR being beamed across the screen prior to sleep mode being completely entered that the device would much more rapidly drain the battery.(Mrs. Often figured that out) My theory was simply that the Neonode IR hardware was staying powered up, even though the device should have been in sleep mode, because the IR beam(s) were continuing to be interrupted so the "touch event" was never being released or ended so the Neonode IR circuitry could power down.

The simplest way to see if a cover is the problem would be to deactivate the sleep cover sensing in the settings and manually put the device to sleep prior to putting it in the cover and see if the battery life improves.
