OK, here's the best way to fold the top that I've found.  Remember to

always fold the Vinyl on the inside so it doesn't pucker (like mine).



(please forgive the ASCII art)



This is the top, vinyl on top, plastic spines on top are double lines,

breaks are single lines:

    =======-=======

  //               \\

  /                 \

//                   \\

-----------------------



Fold the outermost "wings" in at the breaks:

    =======-=======

  //               \\

  \                 /

   \\             //

    ---------------



Fold the next set of "wings" in at the breaks:

    =======-=======

    \\           //

     \          /

      \        /

       --------



Fold the whole thing in half at the middle:

    =======-

    \\      |

     \      |

      \     |

       -----



Fold the whole thing in half again, the other way:

    =======-

    \\      |

     \      |

      ------



Have fun!
