Au cas où + conditionnel

Then you put 2 examples that do NOT use the conditionnelle. I am now totally confused.

Then you use juste sometimes and not others with no explanation.

Please explain full.

This question relates to:French lesson "Au cas où + conditional mood (Le Conditionnel) = in case in French"

There are two ways to use "au cas où", very much like in English:

(1) I told you, just in case. -- Je te l'ai dit, juste au cas où. There is no conditional here.

(2) In case you are late, come see me. -- Au cas où vous seriez en retard, venez me voir. In this case there is a conditional, since au cas où isn't by itself any more.
