Removing a case badge

Well earlier I put a case badge on a open 3.5 drive cover on my computer.... but now I need to remove it to make room for some switches. So my question is, what would be the easiest, cleanest, most efficient way of removing it without damaging the drive cover

If its sticky, I have heard WD-40 works well when trying to remove stickers.

WD-40 and Rubbing Alcohol... two things that cennar has tried getting high off of in the past 2 months.

Don't use WD-40, or any other petroleum solvents for that matter, on plastics! Some will stand up to it without a problem, but most cheap plastics (such as those they make PC cases out of) will generally melt from the petroleum. (I use carbeurator cleaner to make a texture on coastered CD-Rs to make fancier coasters.) Rubbing alcohol will more than likely turn the remaining sticker residue into a gooey mess. If it's a regular sticker and you can submerge the part, try soaking it in hot soapy water for an hour or so. The sticker should dissolve. If there is anything left of it after that use Goo Gone (It's citrus based so it won't harm plastics.) If it's one of those thick plastic things (the kind that are really thick and stick out from the case), peel or scrape it off as well as you can, then hit the remaining adhesive residue with Goo Gone. (put a folded paper towel over the residue and soak it with the cleaner.)

The Goo Gone Stuff works really well, I would suggest that.

I quit doing inhalents long ago... I once saw a kid do so much nos then hand me the thing wile just druling and floping around infront of me, then the cops showed up (to arest a speed freak who wonderd to the down town core screaming at turists) and legaly they wheret aloud to take it way but that time i thought that maby the should have but i guess the poor kid made him self pritty harmless after emptying a few dozen cases to his dome. that was one of those why are my friends dumb and why am I with them moments.
