Step 3Making the flaps foldable
Now that you have the main piece cut out, it is time to make all the flaps easily foldable. I suppose you could bypass this step, but it would make things much harder to assemble later.
You will want to redraw all the lines that you have on the 'Inside' of the case onto the 'Outside of the case. You'll also want to measure out the height of the laptop and mark a line for it on either side of the 'main' area. These lines will also be scored. (In the case of the line on the larger flap, another line should be scored about 1/4" or so outside of it.)
Also, now would be a great time to cut the longer flap down to size and shape. It will be the "latching" flap on the case, so size and shape as you see fit.
