Question turning case into a if statement

How can i convert this case statement that i made to an if statement? Do not write script, just give a hint on how to do something below.

#!/bin/sh
hi="$1"

case "$hi"
in
[Hh][iI]) exit 0;;
* ) exit 1;;
esac

echo "$hi"

Here is what i got so far for an if statement:

hi="$1"

if test "$hi" = hi (this is where i am stuck... how can i make it include
hi and also HI?
then
exit 0
else
exit 1
fi
