   My 7th gen iPad was in a Fintie magnetic folio case and worked fine for   
   years. Then one day, the iPad started self-discharging overnight. I did   
   the usual reboot/hard reset/wipe-setup as a new device chicken=dances   
   all with no joy.   
      
   So I concluded there was something wrong with it and wiped/reset it   
   again prior to listing it on Craig's as an As Is/Parts Only device. I   
   also took it out of its Fintie case to photograph it.   
      
   But something came up and I ended up setting the project aside for a   
   week and a half. When I resumed, the charge had dropped from 100% to 98%.   
      
   I set it up again and used it without the case for three weeks and it   
   worked fine. I also wiped it and restored it from a backup I had made   
   while it was self-discharging--- and it was still fine.   
      
   Culprit? Fontie case!   
      
   Bought a cheapie plain vanilla vinyl case on Ebay and it's worked fine   
   for several months now...
