I'm from Croatia and i'd like to explain the "cases" to some friends of mine, but I don't know how to say that, as Italian language doesn't have cases, just like English...

No, but just knowing the word isn't likely to help anyway.
Italian pronouns do have cases, use that as your starting point (unless they've learned Latin).

There isn't really a word for it.. hmm.. i dont know, i speak a little Czech (so i know what you are talking about). I guess you can just explain it kind of like changing the adj for a noun (or even a noun sometimes) based on gender and number.. but then say how you have to change it after prepositions and as a D.O. or an I.O. and all the different situations. haha. sorry.. but there really isnt a word for it, at least i dont know one, and can find one on the internet. Mi dispiace ... ma in bocca al lupo!

what do you mean by cases as in boxes?
boxes - cassa
case as in "in this case" is caso
