Springtomize will let you hide icons from the springboard. Note that they are also hidden from the switcher and some (like messages) can result in them not showing up in settings anymore. Not a big deal and the only ones I've noticed are messages and FaceTime. When you unhide the appropriate app they reappear.
 
I have a problem with poof.

When searching for a hidden app from spotlight, it doesn't find the app 🙁
