Alright, so my theory on this is that Google lifted the ban on Metamask, allowing them back into the Play Store... but only if they made it impossible to import paper wallets into the Metamask Android Application.

Is this what's happening?

...also, what should I be using to get my coins onto coinbase? What else is there?
