My iPhone 3G and 3GS were both kept in immaculate condition. I had one in a massive case and the other was just cared for with OCD-like tendencies. Guess what? Both are near worthless to me now. I sold the 3G to one of those sites like Gazelle.com for $50 (and had it been in much worse condition, I would have gotten maybe $48! what a difference!) and the 3GS is only good for my daughter as an 'iPod Touch' and now gets banged up like crazy because she's 7.
All that care really did nothing in the end. Who are you saving it for if you don't' enjoy it?
That is why now, I just go 'naked' on my devices for the most part. I'll apply plastic film if it's easy and cheap, but other than that, I just enjoy it as Apple made it. The way bulky cases mess with the form factor of the iPad and especially the iPhone drive me crazy! I can somewhat live with it on the iPad for other benefits (watching movies at angles or bluetooth keyboards, etc.), but in general, it feels better to use without any cover or case on it, IMO.
