You could always ensure they re in the same case before the comparison   if    stringX uppercaseString  isEqualToString  stringY uppercaseString             They re equal     The main benefit being you avoid the potential issue described by matm regarding comparing nil strings  You could either check the string isn t nil before doing one of the compare options  methods  or you could be lazy  like me  and ignore the added cost of creating a new string for each comparison  which is minimal if you re only doing one or two comparisons

NSString  stringA   NSString  stringB    if  stringA  amp  amp   stringA caseInsensitiveCompare stringB     NSOrderedSame            match      Note  stringA  amp  amp  is required because when stringA is nil    stringA   nil    stringA caseInsensitiveCompare stringB     return 0   and so happens NSOrderedSame is also defined as 0   The following example is a typical pitfall    NSString  rank     NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults  stringForKey   Rank     if   rank caseInsensitiveCompare   MANAGER      NSOrderedSame            what happens if  Rank  is not found in standardUserDefaults
