I've just created three Homebrew Magic Items that automatically add the effects of Haste, Shield of Faith, and Mage Armor when selected. They appear at the top of the list under Equipment when added, and that way you can toggle them on and off when needed.
Just to clarify, you can add these through Equipment / Manage Equipment. They'll appear at the top of your equipment list, and clicking on them toggles the effects on and off.
Also, I'm happy to have a go at requests if anyone has any! :)
I just saw this post, and I want to thank you. I’m definitely going to use these for my players (especially Haste,) because a lot of the time when a buff is cast on to someone not familiar with spells, we spend a lot of time fleshing our exactly what the effects do. So this helps immensely. Thank you so much.
One note, though. I added the Haste ring to test this out, and it wasn’t changing the amount of attacks per action number. Was that intended, or just missed/not able to edit?
Just to let you all know, D&D Beyond have removed one of these effects (Add Spell Effects - Protection From Energy (Fire)) saying that it's not valid because it's not a magical item. It's likely that they'll also remove all the others at some point for the same reason.
Some of these, like 'Add Spell Effects - Mage Armor', have multiple adds (thanks for your support!) and are really useful, so I apologise if they suddenly disappear. If anyone would like to add an effect privately for their own use, I would be happy to share the Homebrew set-up with you so you can create it and still use it.
Hopefully, D&D Beyond will add their own versions of these effects that you can toggle on and off soon.

Hi all,
I've just created three Homebrew Magic Items that automatically add the effects of Haste, Shield of Faith, and Mage Armor when selected. They appear at the top of the list under Equipment when added, and that way you can toggle them on and off when needed.
They're called:
Add Spell Effects - Haste
Add Spell Effects - Mage Armor
Add Spell Effects - Shield of Faith
Just in case anyone finds them useful!

I've also now added:
Add Spell Effects - Darkvision
Add Spell Effects - Pass Without Trace
:)
On a bit of a roll, I've also now added the following:
Add Spell Effects - Warding Bond
Add Spell Effects - Longstrider
Add Spell Effects - Mind Blank
Add Spell Effects - Protection From Poison
Add Spell Effects - Protection From Energy (all five variants)
:)
And just for fun, I've added three more:
Add Spell Effects - Heroes' Feast
Add Spell Effects - Aura of Purity
Add Spell Effects - True Seeing
:)
Just to clarify, you can add these through Equipment / Manage Equipment. They'll appear at the top of your equipment list, and clicking on them toggles the effects on and off.
Also, I'm happy to have a go at requests if anyone has any! :)
Last one added for now:
Add Spell Effects - Stoneskin
:)

You're very welcome, and thank you for taking the time to post! :)
And yes, unfortunately I couldn't see a way to add the bonus attack in Homebrew, so I just had to add it to the notes instead. Sorry about that!
Thank you, great work!
