Hi - I don't believe the screen will wake while in your folio case or pocket. It takes a specific motion for raise to wake to work. So you shouldn't be impacting your battery while carrying it around.
Having just upgraded to an iPhone 7 with raise to wake. It was enabled and worried me about battery drain when I had my phone in my handbag when walking. The phone is in a folio case so most of the time I would not be awake of its status. I decided to turn Raise to wake OFF. Now I'm missing it. It occurred to me this would be a great feature to quickly turn on and off when necessary. Surely a good place for this would be on the swipe up screen along with Do not Disturb and Airplane mode!

You might like to pass on this idea to Apple on the Apple Feedback website.
Thanks I've done just that.
