any time a pronoun follows a preposition ("I" and "me" are pronouns, "for" is a prep.) it is in the objective case because it is the object of the preposition. Objective case pronouns are: me, you, him, her, them, us. Nominative case pronouns are used as the subject of a sentence (the person or people acting out the verb) and are: I, you, he, she, they, we. Hope this helps!
