Is the white ABS case a true white or more of an off white?

lloydapaloozathe case is white abs, so it'll yellow over time. but as long as it's new, and you give it an annual (or monthly, depending on uv exposure) bath of retr0bright, it should stay pretty white.
to save you a google search, retr0bright is a "de-yellowing" mixture that's usually applied to older computers that (of course) yellowed quite badly.
the instructions for making retr0bright according to wikipedia:
The optimum mixture and conditions for reversing yellowing of plastics:
  • Hydrogen peroxide solution. 12% or 6% work the same.
  • Approximately 1/4 teaspoonful (4.9 ml) per gallon (3.8 l) (1/3072) of Tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED)-based laundry booster (concentrations of TAED vary).
  • UV light, either from sunlight or a UV lamp.
  • Alternatively, heat may be used instead of UV light[4]
Xanthan gum or arrowroot can be added to the mixture, creating an easier-to-apply gel. In addition to homemade gel mixtures, hydrogen peroxide-based hair bleaching creams available at beauty supply stores can also be used as a ready-made mix.It has been realized by some that certain beauty salon products that are primarily composed of hydrogen peroxide can be used as a ready-made alternative to Retr0bright, almost identical in effect, already "creamy" so that it can be applied less wastefully to yellowed plastics (especially large devices such as computer panels or monitors)
