Ive owned several real RayBans from folding wayfarer to non-folding ones, as well as several fake ones from all over (even purchased a  fake pair at the leaning tower of Pisa), and these ones are really really good and close to the original. The one thing you can totally tell right off the bat is the density and quality of plastic, but, for $10-12 bucks or so, its totally accurate and acceptable. I do like to keep a couple pairs of real raybans for special occasions, however for work, the beach, and other outings I use my back-up fake ones. Highly recommended. Ive bought a few of these already.
