One other possibility is ethanol. But be sure to test that first, because it WILL damage
plexiglas ("lucite"). That's about the only plastic it hurts, though.

I got a Apple cube here as part of a larger haul,
at some point someone
placed a bit of tape on the clear polycarbonate case, the tape is long
gone but the yellow glue remains.
Am unsure about the hardness of it, if I could
use sugar cubes to rub it
off, anyone knows a scratch free way to get it off ?
I assume you've already attempted to throw the usual household stuff at it
as if it was a phone or TV. If not, dig out the glass cleaner and microfibre
cloths and get onto that.
In addition to the plausible suggestion elsethread of WD-40, I'd also give
it a gentle waft of a hairdryer (or heat gun set suitably-low) to try and
melt the glue without melting the plastic, and then it may be more amenable
to wiping-off.
