Sorry, IŽll claim that title. =) I cracked my screen two weeks ago, almost all of the screen splintered. First time for me too. I had it repaired, took it to DNA on Monday afternoon and got it back on Thursday. Quite fast, I would say. Cost 210€.
I got the broken screen back as well and I can post a picture of the backside of it if there are some who are interested.

We all knew this would be very expensive. Small company, not many screens produced, Chinesse won't make a cheaper replacement. Better not to drop your Jolla or bend in your pocket.

Dropped mine today (stupid idea to make a call while riding a bike).
It made a couple of somersaults against the asphalt before it finally came to a halt.
No problems except a small dent on the OtherHalf and some scratches on the screen.
As always when you throw your phone into the ground - one has to make sure it lands on the strong edge :)

Gorilla Glass is scratch-resistant in that it's harder than metal (sand, which is even harder, can still scratch it, though).
But it's not crack-resistant. AFAIK the glass is put under extremely high pressure to make it that hard, which under some circumstances can produce cracks.
Ever seen an iPhone screen shatter to a thousand pieces? Yes, that's Gorilla Glass.

13.12.2013 around 2 PM I dropped my steel credit card wallet on top of Jolla's screen from 10 centimeter.
And 210 euros later I got my Jolla back from OptimaService. I also got the broken screen back. Apparently they had to change everything. Screen, touch elements and the gorilla glass.
It made me wonder tough that why did the glass cracked that easily? Now that I know how expensive the screen replacement is I purchased Insmat screen cover. Even it's not protecting against hits, but I don't want to scratch the screen either with sand, keys etc.

After seeing a tweet back in December of someone who dropped their Jolla and the screen cracked I bought an insurance for my Jolla right away. Hopefully I'll never need to use it

No sign of damage or dropping, bit puzzling, first broken screen ever in over 20years of mobile devices.
Gutted.
Proud owner of Jolla phone, number 274.
