nice work with the wax
I bought from this UK EBAY seller and receive next day, much quicker than Noreve's webstore.

Chestnut is amazing! I will post some pictures for you guys!
I'd also like to remove the card slots on this inside cover. I've come close to taking them out with a razor blade a couple of times but couldn't bring myself to do it since I paid so much for the case.
I've been threatening to do that for a year with ...Has anyone tried tucking the hinge under the upper edge of the iPad while in typing position, since it's flexible? ...
I love the wax job with the Sandy Vintage. I may try that with my Dark Vintage. I'm a little disappointed that the color isn't closer to what I have in my Kindle case, but the wax might do the trick.
Have any of you guys seen the Noreve Tradition type B case? It is a No-reve case more like the Yoo-bao in design. It has no magnetic strap to close, and it has no card pockets. One bad thing is it covers the bezel, but it does offer better edge protection.
Since it doesn't have a magnetic strap so I am wondering how it fastens in position when angled?
I'm not sure if you can expect to use 3G with this particular case due its use of metal in the case construction. Noreve iphone cases apparently have the same problem. Check out this quote from a Noreve review:
"The magnet isnt Traditions big problem: rather, the aforementioned doozy was Noreves decision to use a hard metal shell this for its rear casing. When we put the plastic-bodied iPhone 3G in Tradition, we saw reception take a one-bar and sometimes more significant hit, enough to take a marginal to good signal and make it unreliable. As literally the only flip case weve seen to date with metal inside, a material that Apple intentionally opted to avoid for signal strength reasons."

I hope others can post their experience with 3G using the Noreve case. I was planning on purchasing the Noreve because it is the only soft leather case using a rail system to hold the ipad (far superior to the typical bezel design), but the lack of 3G reception is a deal breaker. Does anyone really want to take the ipad out of the case just to use it? I hope I'm wrong about this...
If you could post any experience with WiFi and this case as well that would be appreciated. I'm planning to get a WiFi only iPad next month and so far this looks like my top choice case--since some people are supposedly already experiencing some WiFi issues I thought it would be wise to check in on this.
