In what context are you planning to use this?  Why are you wanting to use $_POST?  

I think what you need would be this:

add_action('wp_insert_post','my_wp_insert_post');

function my_wp_insert_post($post_id,$post) {
	if ( 'case-study' == $post['post_type'] ) {
   		# save case-study meta...
	}
}

Is this not what you need?
