I don't think so. But, if you have a faulty sleep button, can't you use the Autolock settings to put your iPad into Sleep mode? The Home button will always bring it back to life again.

Yes, but in the event that I'm on a plane or want to turn it off to conserve power?

OK - good point!! Yes, you might need to turn it off immediately - even the 1 minute Autolock might be too long. I don't think there's another option. There are a number of repair shops that advertise specifically fixing faulty Power buttons - it seems to be common enough that there's a market there. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

If you are on an airplane, you don't actually need to turn the iPad off. It is enough when the 3G connection is turned off.

Also, depending where you live, you might want to visit an Apple Store, as they should give you a free replacement unit for any hardware issues arising within the first year of purchase.
