Trying to update iOS to 5.1.1 instead of 6?

I'm trying to update my iPhone from iOS 5.1 to 5.1.1 instead of 6, but each time I try to do a manual update by shift-clicking "Restore" on iTunes and selecting the 5.1.1 file I downloaded it gives me a 3194 error.

Is it not possible to update to just 5.1.1 anymore? Am I now forced to update directly to iOS 6? My iPhone has never been jailbroken before, and I've tried suggestions of turning off my firewall, changing my hosts file, putting my iPhone in forced recovery mode, even setting it back to factory settings. They all don't work and I keep getting that 3194 error.

Added (1). Sorry, should've mentioned that I'm actually trying to update to 5.1.1 in order to jailbreak this iphone 4s for the first time.

What's a good iphone 4 case and wallet?

I'm really into those leather iphone 4 case and wallets. But the thing is I'm trying to find one that either has a pocket that can fit my iphone with its case, for example like these wallets:

OR
one that has a built in case inside the wallet like this:

I really like brown leather, and I also want a strap(like the one in the 1st picture) that can I can just hold onto instead of the whole wallet.

Is my iPhone 4S stuck on iOS6?

So I've been trying to restore my iPhone 4S all day, I even have my SHSH blobs, as well as them stitched to the previous firmware I used and also the standard firmware, I've tried using TinyUmbrella too but I got either: Error 11, 1600, 3108 or 3194 this is from different things such as my iPhone being in DFU mode etc, is there anyways to downgrade?

Added (1). Thanks for the advice, also the problem is that whilst my phone is on iOS6 it is practically an iPod with a good camera as I require a jailbreak to actually use it as a phone, guess I'm gonna have to wait for a jailbreak.

Why do some people that work for Apple not use the word the?

Do they just do it to bring the impression that they think they're above talking like everyone else or is it a real marketing strategy that works?
