I definitely baby my Gibson F9; it is only out of the case when I am playing it. When I am finished, it goes back in the case. On the other hand, my Epiphone MM-30 stays out and on the stand whenever I am not playing it. As for my Weber Gallatin, I pretty much keep it in the case when I am not playing it, though occasionally I will leave it out on a stand for maybe a few hours, but it gets tucked in its case at night. I haven't really been playing my Mike Bruhn double-point mando, so it pretty much lives in its case. So, I guess the short answer to your question is: It depends!!
