A cellular telephone casing, for enclosing and protecting a cellular telephone without interfering with the normal functionality of the cellular telephone, the casing having walls made of vinyl covered foam which define an interior volume for fully enclosing the cellular telephone in a substantially waterproof protective covering. The casing has speaker wells and microphone wells which allow uninhibited communication with the telephone through the casing, but are selectively filled with a speaker plug and microphone plug when the telephone is not in use to maintain waterproofing of the casing. At least one transparent window is provided to allow buttons of the telephone to be operated and displays to be visualized. A top split and side splits allow the cellular telephone to be inserted into the casing, and an overhead strap and side straps selectively maintain the top split and side splits closed to maintain waterproofing of the case.
