You cannot use either in this sentence.

1 : for the purpose of being ready for something that might happen
▪ Bring an umbrella in case it rains. ▪ We brought extra money just in case.

Why can't you use if? It changes the meaning, but it is a correct sentence.

I should've said You cannot use either in this sentence instead of "in case" without changing the meaning.

Why can't you use if? It changes the meaning, but it is a correct sentence.

If we're changing the meaning, then because can work too.

I know; I wanted to get things going without spoon-feeding the answer as I have a feeling this might be a homework question. ;-)
