Is it ok to end a sentence with a possessive case?
How should one NOT end a sentance, apart from that?

It's actually not really a case. The 's marker is a clitic, which means it can modify a whole phrase, not just a noun. For instance, in the phrase "The King of England's crown", we're not talking about England's crown, but the King's crown; the 's modifies the entire phrase "King of England".

The only rule I can think of would be not ending a sentance with a preposition.
"Where do you come from?" Is incorrect grammar.
"From where do you come?" Is correct grammar.
This is formal English, the sort you'd use with superiors mostly.

Do you mean like, ending a sentence with mine? "That chinchilla is mine" or something? Because that's fine.
