Keywords are always case-insensitive.

Identifiers are case-insensitive unless you surround them with "".

Strings are case-sensitive unless you use ILIKE or similar methods
of comparison.

All of these conform to what I'm used to in other database systems.

If the above doesn't answer your question, perhaps provide a little
more detail about what you're trying to do and where you're having
problems.
