Never Be Pocket-less With A Gadget Again

Sometimes you realize that the shorts you put on don't actually have pockets or that the pockets on your jacket are really inaccessible. And then your day is ruined. If you had a t-shirt with a clear plastic gadget pocket this would never have been an issue. Obviously.

Japanese t-shirt designer inink has a whole line of t-shirts made for flaunting iDevices and generally wearing them on the front of your body. They're washable and some of the plastic pouches even have cutouts for iPhone cameras. You can also put other devices or stuff in the pouches because of course. I feel like these t-shirts may increase your chance of being mugged, but at least you'll feel more like one of the carefree spirits in the old iPod + iTunes commercialswhile you're bopping around.

LG Nexus 4 design updated, now less 

Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like the Nexus 4 has quietly received a bit of a design change.
The news of the change was first reported by German site Mobiflip, and has since been confirmed by Android Central, which recently received a Nexus 4 via Google Play that features the newly reported changes.
Okay, with that out of the way, what’s different? On the front-side the Nexus 4 looks the same as ever, with both changes only affecting the back of the smartphone. The biggest change is the addition of two small nubs, as seen in the picture directly below this sentence.

At first glance, you might not think this slight change would mean much. Actually, it is quite a useful adjustment. Right now, the Nexus 4 lies completely flat on its back, which means it is more prone to scratching and even sliding. It also means that your speaker is somewhat muted when the phone is on its back. None of these are probably considered ‘deal breaker’ problems, but they are still annoyances nonetheless.

The next change is one of those “we changed it because we can” design adjustments. The camera lens’ outer ring is now smaller than the original model. We have no clue what practical reason they had for changing this. Perhaps the only reason for the change is purely aesthetics, though it is hard to say for sure.
So how about it, have any of you received a new LG Nexus 4 with these cosmetic changes? What do you think?
