letter case

Letter case is the distinction between uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters in alphabets that make this distinction.

Case affects meaning and grammar: proper nouns take uppercase, most words don't.

To change case is to convert between forms: She typed the title in all caps, then changed it to title case.
