yes, it's necessary, it keeps your engine in place

i kind of wish i got one with my set of keys...
because when i first started driving my IS250 i put the keys in my bag when i went to class. Took my keys out at the end of class and the keyfob had detached itself from the key and i freaked out and ran all over campus looking for it. only to find out it was in the bottom of my bag. but still, it shouldn't come off on a normal basis should it? (it hasn't happened since that day b/c i keep them in my pocket now hah)

same here.

here's an alternative--I don't know if it's more or less bulky:

I think it is really a personal preference.

Exactly and a high profit margin (%, not dollar amount) accessory for dealer.

I got one after I flushed my keys & fob down the toilet. Working out good so far, the loophole helps
