I had a similar problem with the stock case and my old EM-500. Turns out that case was a bit snug and would push down the D-pad. Thus, when the EM-500 woke up at midnight (like all PPC's do) to reset the alarms it would not shut off due to the button being pressed down. I think the stock case for the Axim may have done the same thing to me...except I think it may be touching the screen or pressing the D-pad. Anyway, now I always keep my Axim out of the case overnight and have yet to wake up to a dead battery.
Makes me wonder if Dell knew about this, and that this is why the original Ax was shipped without having the center button activated (remember the patch?)

Even now, it's a control panel, and you have to explicitly turn on the center keypad.

Hmmmm...
