You aren't going to get it back all the way to the original whiteness,
and it depends on if it is more yellowed from "smoking" or age, but
spraying on 409 and letting it soak for a while before wiping it off can
greatly improve the color. It takes several repeats: keep doing it until
the yellow stops running.

Watch out with Goof-Off. You can easily melt the plastic of the case if
you apply too much or rub too much. Always apply it to a cloth first and
then to the case, and then don't cause too much friction.
But, to try to lighten up an entire case this way seems to be an awful lot
of work.
