That's really my approach, too, though I don't care for fudging. I don't make a point of always have the dice be visible to the players (conversely, I don't insist on seeing all their rolls, either), but I don't make any effort to hide my rolls.

What I do that's secretive is occasionally ask a player to come to another room with me for private discussion. I often have them bring dice and character sheet. I suppose that's "not rolling in plain sight" in a sense.
