Usage Note
Cas is invariable — its plural is also cas (no added -s needed since it ends in -s already). The phrase en tout cas means 'in any case' or 'anyway' and is extremely common in spoken French. Au cas où introduces a conditional clause meaning 'in case.'
Examples
"En tout cas, je viendrai demain."
Natural Translation
In any case, I will come tomorrow.
