Charles Djou is now an independent, too.

I know but he would be cross endorsed as the Hawaiian GOP is Moderate

Knowing Case even if he doesn't lose he'll vacate the seat eventually anyway to do something like primary challenge Schatz and get clobbered. Point is he's less likely to stick around long than the rest of the awful non-Ing candidates.

Absolutely. The prospect of Chin or Fukumoto winning and receiving national attention ("The man who sued President Blunpf is now headed to Washington!" or "She was a Republican... Then Blunpf happened and she's ready to fight!", etc.) is nausea-inducing - At least Case will be relegated to the status of irrelevant flotsam until he runs his next futile statewide campaign as you stated.
Yeah, Ed Case is probably the least worst out of the non-Ing candidates. The thought of Fukumoto in congress is literally nauseating.

I'm also pretty sure that Case would basically just be a generic D in voting record if the Democrats held the House.

Why in the world do you think so? All indicators point to him being a corporate shill.

Self preservation, presumably.

If Hawaii Democrats had much interest in punishing representatives who go against their policy views, I can't see why Ed Case would be winning the primary in the first place.

Extremely split field + all the candidates are very flawed. But I see your point. It was disgusting that Case got as much support as he did against Akaka in 2006 and Hirono in 2012.

Remember This was a Sanders State
