How to recognise it

Corner above the slot with white facing you; the edge is on the left, its top colour matching the corner's right sticker.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 3 algorithm backwards, F' U F, and you are solving 2.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 3 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 3 and not 2.
