In our email box yesterday we noticed that the company has announced a new case for the HTC EVO 4G, and that they have improved on the features over past cases. So now you can protect your EVO with a Ballistic HC just like some iPhone and BlackBerry owners do.

Some of the features include a durable screen protector, as well as polymer that help to absorb shocks, as well as a soft silicone outermost layer that help to protect everything else. The price for the case is just $49.99, which is around about the same price as the Otterbox. For more details visit the Ballistic Case website.

Below we have a video review of said case, which the company say is a must have accessory. As we all cases like this, companies like to put them through their paces and show you how you are able to drop the case without damage to your handset.

The video review then takes all five layers apart and explains what each one of them do. Not certain that I like how bulky the HTC EVO 4G looks once encased in the product – but as long as you have total protection who cares right?

As reported from Phandroid, the official kit will come at a higher cost than third party models though, and at $59.99 it is not exactly eye-catching for the average consumer.

You would think that for $59.99 the car kit would offer the best features than it’s competitors, but this isn’t the case with Sprint. The official kit doesn’t come with a charging cable, and doesn’t have support for mounting SD cards.

Phandroid advise customers to avoid this one, and we have to agree with them. Have any of you just bought this? Let us know what you make of it.
