I have apple care plus, but I'm told they all have iOS 6 installed. Is there any way to get one with 5.1 and if not is there any way to downgrade? I don't want to lose my jailbreak.
If not, can you replace the back?

If just the back glass broke then yes.
Apple store Genius Bar can replace the back glass panel for $29
Next time, be careful with any jailbroken device. Not even Apple Care Plus will save your warranty from
being voided.
P/S: People still jailbreak these days ? I remember the old days when I always had my iPhone 2/3/3GS jailbroken, not anymore with iPhone 4/4S/5 .

Tons of people still jailbeak. I don't know why it comes as a surprise to you.
This is the back glass that's broken, correct?
Just buy an OEM one from ebay or something and switch it out yourself. Did it recently to a friend's iPhone and took 20 seconds. You still have to pay, whether it'll be $29 or $50 , so you might as well just get it done for $15.
Ya, I don't know how anyone uses a stock iPhone. I suppose ignorance is bliss

I use a stock iPhone because it does what I need it to. Plus, when something happens to it, I'm not running around trying to figure out how to fix my phone and save my jailbreak.
Very small price to pay for the immense benefits of jailbreaking. You honestly have no idea how much better your iPhone experience could be and how many glaring flaws there are in iOS, I can't count how many tweaks I have
Get the back replaced at the Apple Store if you want an original iPhone back. There are no OEM parts available anywhere outside of Apple. Just (maybe) very good almost OEM quality parts.
Ok. I'm goin tomorrow.
Is there any way a replacement 4S will still have iOS 5.1?

I got a replacement 4S from Apple few weeks ago (after iOS 6 launched) n it was loaded with 5.1 instead of 6. I'm in Australia, but I think US should be the same.

Wow, since you don't jb anymore you think no one else does?
To the op just pay apple to replace your back piece for $29.
You will be fine bringing it in jb.
I don't think the jb caused the crack
No, but I think several polls last year where a majority of people do not jb or do not consider to jb in the future. Whilst the pre-iPhone 4 era, I remember a whole lot of people jb. It's not that jb is bad though, it's just Apple is constantly improving their OS and adding new features and what not, though I have to say the lack of configuring themes is a huge loss there...
Just go to the apple store and pay 29$ and it will be done in less than 5 min, i wouldn't use apple care for this, damage is minimum.
Could I possibly get a replacement with 5.1?You run the risk of them finding out but you should be alright.
