So if I go to apple today they will give me a replacement phone for $229? Ouch that hurts. I have an appointment at 3:30 luckily I have an apple store 30 min away.
If the phone didn't have glass coming out of it I would live with it. It would bother me but thats life. Its still functional but the more I touch it the worse it gets. Luckily the screen protector is holding it in
Get a quote from the Apple store and see what they'll charge. Otherwise, you may want to look locally for a repair shop and call them up. You will save money with them!
Another poster has stated that shattering your screen voided your warranty, so you may as well try and save some dough through a local shop instead of spending $229 at Apple.
A coworker of mine left her iPhone inside an Otterbox on top of her vehicle in the morning once. Came home to find the iPhone in the street and must have been driven over a few times that day because the front glass was a goner. She replaced the screen (for a 4S) locally for $80 same day fix at a repair shop. They even placed a 1 year warranty on their work so she still has piece of mind. I asked to look at the phone afterwards and it looked brand new. Luckily the otterbox kept the rest of the phone in good condition and it was just the front glass.

Another note...yes the $229 may sting, but look at this, if you were covered under AppleCare+ at this point you'd be out $99 plus $49 to replace your phone. That is only $81 difference...not too far off really. I still think the gamble of not breaking your phone is worth saving than paying AppleCare for their insurance, but each to his own opinion.
