My problem was thinking the iPad2 Marware CEO case was working on the iPad3. Turns out it has the wrong magnetic polarity for sleep function. I thought the iPad was off when in fact it was on overnight. Hence the fully discharged battery I found in the morning.

I ordered a new Marware with the right magnet and gave the old one to the person to whom I gave the iPad2. Right now I'm using my old Apple Smart Cover and that *seems* to be working perfectly.
