    ... way more likely to pluck away if it's in a stand or on a hook...

You have no idea how many times I have seen someone dig a case out from behind/under something, open it, smile, and pull out the instrument inside with a big smile on their face. They then kinda "go away somewhere" and plink away on the instrument... in a happy place, remembering maybe the last time they played it, or who they played with, or whatever...

... and then they put it sadly back in the case.

Cases are where instruments go to die.

Put that thing out in the open, where you can always reach it... and you will reach for it.

You aren't going to go under your bed to dig out a case and twiddle for a few minutes.
