how can I take screenshots on my Nexus 4 without using the power button?

My phone's power button does not seem to work fine. Even long hold of the power button to bring up the power off option does not work consistently.

Sometimes restarting the phone helps. But not for long.

Earlier I used to use the std method of holding the power button with the volume button pressed down to take screenshots.

Now tat I have established that the power button is stubborn, is there any other way of taking a screenshot?

Yes, in fact with Nexus 4, there is that problem. Happens to me once a month or once in a two month and restarting fixes it. But haven't yet came across it being totally shut down.
Now there are other apps that are available in the market to help people with snapshots. Most of them require root.
