You can just purchase a Communicator replica. They’re reasonably priced ($30) and they look real.
EDIT: I found this excellent tutorial where you can make one from wood: http://www.tk560.com/wood-comm/comm-tutorial.html It looks really well done, I think I’ll try building this one myself.
Ruth asks…
Is there a clear picture of the new Star Trek communicator badge anywhere? Did they change it?
I can’t find any clear shots other than the couple in the pics page on the site! Is there a gallery of the new badges somewhere?
admin answers:
If you are refering to the new movie- it is an “Original Series” genre movie. In TOS there were no com-badges. They had communicatiors but not badges. They do have a logo patch on their shirt which I am told is staying true to the original. The communicators do look a tad different, so do the uniforms- but they are pretty close to the original.

Sharon asks…
Did the Star Trek communicators inspire today’s cellphones?
Just curious, it’s kind of comical to watch the old episodes and see how closely the communicators resemble cellphones.
admin answers:
It’s funny you ask that, I was just reading about this a few days ago. It’s pretty fascinating how Star Trek inspired so much cool stuff.
Some guy even made a documantary about it hosted by William Shatner.
Hope this was helpful.
