The price is typical for an official service like Optima. Independent repair shops are usually cheaper if they can get spare parts, for Jolla they can't at the moment. But probably it would still be over 100€ for 4.5" IPS screen. As we can see from Huoltokukko's rates, the price depends heavily on the size and type of display.

It was Steve Jobs himself who used his reality distortion field to convince Corning they can make this incredible glass, at least according to Jobs' biography. And it's been confirmed that Corning is major supplier for Apple.

But Corning isn't bad at hyping their own products. Here's a video about Gorilla Glass 2 used in Jolla
