unrooted Nexus 4 screen cracked

A

AC Question

I have a 16gig Nexus 4 who's screen i managed to crack just enough that while i can enter the pass code, i can't press enter; only lower 1 inch is not working. I have not rooted the device, nor do I recall enabling USB debugging.
Since it is locked, connecting to laptop with USB cable doesnt let me browse through my data to make a copy. Everywhere i read, I get the answer as I need to root it, but I don't suppose I can do it in the current situation. Anyone has any other idea?

I also came across a post where the user apparently managed to use his nexus with a bluetooth mouse
How I managed to use my Android device with a broken touch screen : Android
and I am fine doing that till i get a decent replacement (specially since only lower 1 inch is not working)

Anyone has any suggestions?
