I recently purchased a faux leather case for a 3g ipad but as soon as I put the ipad into it the 3g signal drops and I either get an edge signal or searching. It inevitably will not pick up the 3g signal again.

As soon as I remove the ipad from the case I get a full 3g signal again.

Does anybody know is this due to the black sensor at the rear being blocked, is this a common problem with complete wrap around cases.

It is not a major issue for me as it will primarily be used over wifi where the problem does not exist, the 3g service being run from a prepaid sim card as a backup should I be away from a wifi connection.

Thanks.
