  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.

I find goof off works for removal of some yellowing. It does dissolve the 
surface of most plastics. After about 5 - 10 seconds of application I use ethyl 
alcohol to stop the reaction (Wipe with another saturated cloth). Seems to 
neutralize the Goof Off. You have to be quick. Doesn't work on clear plastic.
