Buy a card clip. If you're really paranoid, wash your hands before using the cards.

be gentle with cards

be gentle with the cards. Vernon said something along the lines of the deck of cards being to the magician what the paintbrush is to the artist. You should treat your props gently.

Avoid riffling the cards, and springing the cards too much. If you do the riffle shuffle, make sure to do it properly, without warping the cards.

Wash your hands, I make a point to because my hands are so damn oily. Buy yourself a card clip for sure.

is it better to use card clips rather than just using the deck's own box?

Card clips keeps cards flat and unwarps them (like having them under heavy books). The box is only a box

Card Clip (preferably a Porper), all the way. Especially crucial if you live in an area with high humidity - which is a plague on pasteboards.
