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?

The images come to us courtesy of BGR, who have obtained them via their unnamed source. The device in question is a sort-of merge between the HTC EVO 4G on Sprint, and the Google Nexus One – which is obviously a great thing since they are both awesome looking handsets.

The handset is coated in an aluminium plating as seen on the Nexus One and BGR has also given us the first specs of the device. They include a 4.3-inch display screen, 8 megapixel camera as seen on the back of the device, dual-LED flash, a front-facing camera – yes!, kickstand and 3.5mm audio jack.

We’re not sure about you, but we are super excited about this device. When will it be given an official name though? Hopefully we’ll be able to bring you more details on the handset soon. Let us know your initial impressions of it.
