Of course that question is from a guy who does not gig, or move his amps.
I have covers for most of my amps and they are neatly folded in the closet.
The Marshall cover is still in the garage due to the ridiculous smoke smell.
Are they for looks or do they actually give some protection.
I have gigged very little. When I have, I do like the amph covered for transport.
But at home, I just got used to having the cover on my Peavey (one came with it) and when I got my Fender, that big, vintage, front grill looked like a tear waiting to happen at my house full of kids and dogs. See here:
So I got one of these:
From here: http://store.amplifiercovers.com/products.html (note fender combo cover pictured upper right) These guys were great to deal with, reasonable, and fast.
I got vintage brown with brown piping. I like having the piping as it seems to make the cover hold its shape better. It is very similar to the one that came with my Peavey, but was sewn to fit the amp perfectly, angled control panel included. I feel better leaving for work knowing it is covered up. 
The Peavey cover that got me hooked is pictured here:
