     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION—FIELD OF INVENTION  
      This invention is a transparent latex or rubber material that would cover and protect a cellular phone, available in clear or light colors.  
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      Other covers may be used just for carrying cell phones or protection from just scuffing. They may also allow cellular phones to be ruined when subjected to water, sand, lotions, grease, dirt, snow, and other foreign materials. Other covers may prevent use when working with greasy equipment or playing at a pool or beach.  
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION—OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES  
      Besides the objects and advantages of holsters and carrying cases, there are many obects and advantages of the present invention described in the above patent. 
          (a) to provide a cover which will not be slippery when handled with wet or greasy fingers;     (b) to provide a cover which cannot be altered;     (c) to provide a cover whose production allows for a convenient and rapid production;     (d) to provide a cover which can be produced in a variety of colors;     (e) to provide a cover that can be made to fit any size or shape of phone;     (f) to provide a cover that could be sold in small convenient packages;     (g) to provide a cover that is disposable after each use;     (h) to provide a cover that would be water-tight;     (i) to provide a cover that would snugly fit your phone as well as your hand;     (j) to provide a cover that would be very affordable;        

      Further objects and advantages are to provide use at a beach while using lotion and playing in the water or at work while having dirty or greasy hands. It could also protect a phone from snow and icy weather.  
     SUMMARY  
      In essence, the present invention compliments standard carrying cases, allowing a user to return a phone to a carrying case and still ensures a phone from the damages caused from water, sand, lotion, grease, dirt, and other foreign materials. The long tubular body can be easily rolled on in seconds and removed just the same. The tubular body is opened at one end and closed at the other. Its body is made of a thin latex material that will conform to fit any cellular phone snugly. After a latex cover has been pulled down completely, it should be tied with a knot. A disposable latex cover will allow a user to have a cover that can give a phone protection in conditions normally harmful to cellular phones, yet allow complete control of the functions.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION—FIGS—PREFERRED EMBODIMENT  
      A preferred embodiment of a disposable cover in the present invention is illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The flexible tubular body  12  is a thin layer of latex material about 0.4 mm thick, having an opened end  16  and a closed end  18  wherein an antenna enclosure  10  is fixed thereof at the closed end  18 . A disposable cover is a smooth texture that would make handling easier while installing a phone and adjusting for proper fitting. The body  12  would have a length of 130 mm which would be long enough to pull downward and tie into a knot. The tubular body  12  would have a generally constant diameter from its opened end  16  to its closed end  18 , defining a longitudinally extending chamber.  
      The second embodiment of the invention is illustrated in  FIG. 2  and is the same descriptions as  FIG. 1  but shown from a different view. This will give another perspective of the antenna enclosure  10  wherein the small chamber extends thereof the closed end  18 .  
       FIG. 3  illustrates a third embodiment of the invention wherein the body  12  is rolled up from the base  14  wherein the closed end  18  projects about 5 mm thereof.  
      Operation:  
      A manner of using a disposable cover to seal and protect a cellular phone is to stretch the opened end  16  thereof the base  14  over the top of a cellular phone while adjusting the antenna into the antenna enclosure  10 . Then the cover is rolled or pulled downward from the opened end  16  until the tubular chamber overruns the bottom end of the cellular phone. After pulling a latex or rubber cover that is extremely flexible and elastic over the body  12 , it would be twisted at the opened end  16  thereof base  14  and tied into a knot. To remove a latex or rubber chamber that has sealed and protected a cellular phone from debris or fluids, punch a hole in wall of the body  12  and tear away from cellular phone.  
     CONCLUSION, RAMIFICATIONS, AND SCOPE  
      Accordingly, a reader will see that a disposable latex cover of this invention can be used to seal a cellular phone from damaging elements, such as water, grease, sand, dirt, oils, or snow and can be removed just as easily. A disposable cover can be packaged for convenience, handling, and storage. Once a cellular phone has been installed into the cover, it can be used without impairing the ability of using a cellular phone, using the keypad, or talking and listening on a phone. Furthermore, a disposable latex cover has an additional advantage in that: 
          (A) It permits the production of a cover in a variety of light and neon transparent colors.     (B) It provides a superior surface that would not be slippery while having wet or greasy hands.     (C) It provides a latex chamber that would conform to fit any shape or size of cellular phone.        

      Although the descriptions above contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention, but merely as providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention. For example, a cover could have different textures or colors, and could vary in shape or size.
