I'm not saying they will think it's a fake upon seeing it. To give you an example: * A mugger asks you to hand over all your goods. * You hand him your fake wallet and cell phone. * He decides to reach in your pockets to see if you're hiding anything else (maybe an iPod or something else). * He finds your real wallet and now is aware that you tried to hide it. * He gets angry and shoots you (whereas otherwise, he would have just run off with your stuff). Is a slightly increased chance of getting beaten or killed really worth the difference in cash between the real and fake wallet? I think it's smarter to just prepare for the possibility of a lost/stolen wallet and know how to quickly cancel your cards and apply for new ones.
