A random thought:
You know those clip-on ties, that present the appearance of wearing a tie, without the bother of actually having to wrap it around your neck and tie a knot?
Is there such a thing as clip-on tzitzis? I.e. strings that clip onto your pants so that it looks like you’re wearing a four-cornered garment with tzitzis.

Such ציצית are absolutely פסול because of the rule of תעשה ולא מן העשוי. Suppose you have a garment has three corners, and you attach ציצית to them, and then modify the garment so that it has a fourth corner. שלחן ערוך says clearly that you will need to untie the three ציצית which you had attached prior to the garment having had four corners, and put them on again (משנה ברורה points out that this means they must be completely untied).

The point of fake tefillin would be convenience. So the tefillin shel yad should be a one-piece item that slips onto your arm (no wrapping needed). It might even be inflatable, for easy storage.
