Making string insensitive to upper or lower case

I have two questions. I finally realized that if I just use ignore case under if parentheses it does work. But is it possible to acquire the same results using the switch statement?
My second question is for variables s1 and s4 . if i kept s1 = "South Bend". and when I entered in whatever case, it wouldn't work because of the space between south and bend. How do I fix that portion. Thank you for time and effort in resolving my issue.
