You do realize, that the cloak bends light around you but your still a physical object so you still create a shadow, right?
Aside from the clear fact you haven't unlocked stealth enhance II, you're wrong. If light were being bent AROUND you, there would be no absence of light hitting the surface on the other side of you - therefore no shadow.
It is suggested by the crystallisation of the nanosuit skin in cloak mode that the image is simply copied and re-emitted on the other side to make the user appear invisible. This could in theory provide a shadow of some description as the light being emitted would not necessarily be of the same intensity as the original light source. However, this fails to take into account the cloaking of weapons; which have no such mechanism on them.
