I like this wallet much better when you leave off the bottom half of the center cut. It stabilizes the credit card pockets & makes the cards much less likely to fall out.

I made folds a half inch from the long edges to pre-crease the zipper folds and to be able to easily cut every side cut the same length. Then on the next step, instead of folding 2 and 4 in, fold 1 and 3 out.

You want the side cuts to be as big as possible to make the length of the wallet as small as possible with just enough room for cards. Pre-creasing the 'zipper' folds makes it easier to tuck them, i.e. in the next step you can fold every flap instead of just every other. Never mind long-term durability, using the wallet as a to-do/shopping list/scratch pad that gets replaced every week is perfect.
