Answer 1

You try making everything uppercase or lowercase

String str = "something".toUpperCase();
switch(str){
case "UPPER":
}

or

String str = "something".toLowerCase();
swtich(str){
case "lower":
}

or even better use enum (note this is only possible from Java 7)

enum YourCases {UPPER1, UPPER2} // cases.
YourCases c = YourCases.UPPER1; // you will probably get this value from somewhere
switch(c){
case YourCases.UPPER1: ....
break;
case YourCases.UPPER2: ....
}
