Do you us both?

1) I took my umbrella with me just in case when I left home.
2) I left home with my umbrella just in case.

They both could be used, but in the case of (1), this seems a slightly more natural word order for me: I took my umbrella with me when I left home, just in case.

Thank you!!! Should I use a comma after "home" or can I just omit it?

I think it is best to include it. It makes it visually clearer that "just in case" does not apply to "I left home". Opinions about its necessity may vary though.

I see.! I now know why you'd use a comma there:)
