Blow dryer, just keep it moving it should melt the way and you should be able to wipe it off/up. You could also get it melted and then press some saran wrap on it and it might stick to the saran wrap when it dries allowing you to lift it right off the case.. GL!

Scrape as much of it off as possible with a credit card or guitar pick. Then as noted, iron on paper towels or paper grocery bags works pretty good. The laminate should be able to take the heat. However, I'd probably just jump straight to mineral spirits. It's harmless to most every surface I've used it on & will dissolve wax.
