I've used wd40 as a solvent for adhesive residue on both case plastic with
so-so results, and on the clear plastic LCD protective cover on a TRS-80
model 100 with great results. Didn't scratch the plastic one bit.

I've found that generally, with a little work, adhesive residue may be
removed with a bit of scotch tape---or, ideally, the removed piece of
adhesive that left the residue behind in the first place.
Stick it down, and lift it straight back off (don't peel) repeatedly. This
is effective and solvent-free. I use this method to remove all manner of
adhesive residue, including those contrary CD packaging stickers.
Sometimes it takes a few pieces of tape, too, to get it all off. But it
works. (:

I second this method. I've done this to remove sticky crap since I
discovered its effectiveness as a child. It works very well.
